Press a heart-shaped cookie cutter into the cut face of a potato halk. With the cutter still in place, use a paring knife to cut the potato from around the heart. Remove the cutter then dip the heart into green acrylic paint and press it onto the paper. Repeat to make two more leaves, then use a paintbrush to add a swish for the stem. |

Cut the top from a 2-liter soda bottle. Find a flowerpot that fits inside the dome. Fill the pot with potting soil, then plant the seeds according to the packet directions. Consider planting herbs that can be transplanted outside when weather is good. Or grass, which grows fast and it fun to trim with scissors. Place the pot in a saucer and poke a craft stick marker. Slip the dome over the pot. Be sure to water when the soil looks dry. |
What you do: Pour a very small amount of water in a bowl. Add a level teaspoon of cornstarch to the bowl and stir. Keep adding a little cornstarch and stirring until the slime slowly runs when you tip the bowl. Pick up the slime and squeeze it. What happens? Scientifically: This slime seems like a liquid when it's under pressure, but it becomes firmer when it's squeezed. That's because cornstarch is a polymer, made up of long, chainlike molecules. When you squeeze the slime, the molecules become tangled. That's why the slime stiffens! |
